Pinhole experiment – P365 Apr16

Another experiment today! Nomi sent me a link with some quite cool photos taken with a pinhole camera, and it occurred to me that I might be able to make something similar with my camera. So I grabbed my camera’s body cap, a drill, some tape, aluminium and a pin, and 15 minutes later, I had a pinhole camera. I won’t bore you with the technical details of pinhole cameras, but my first results were… not entirely awful :)

The image above was taken without using any lens at all, just a hole in some thick alfoil (a take-away pasta tub in fact). As you can see, it’s a bit soft of focus, and all the dust and dirt on the chip stands right out, but it’s a recognisable image! I shall have to experiment further… :)

By the way, the cute little figurine is Hazuki from the anime Tsukuyomi Moon Phase. She was a gift from A-Chan and Asham from Japan. She’s adorable guys! Thanks so much :)
